Study confirms what Minnesota low-wage workers know: life is tough
A new study on “The Future of Work in Minnesota” confirms what low-wage workers have been saying in their demonstrations for weeks: wages are too low. And wage theft, erratic scheduling, and lack of paid sick days are serious problems.
The report was done by Minnesotans for a Fair Economy and announced by Working America, an organization of some three million workers, including 300,000 in Minnesota. Though the new study is Minnesota-specific, Working America’s findings could easily cover low-wage workers nationwide.
